SLOW DOWN...TO EVERY THING THERE IS A SEASON........

SLOW DOWN

I'm SEW glad you slowed down and stopped by to see my RUSH HOUR Projects. I really got into this lovely fabric and had a Plethora of ideas but not sew much on TIME.

Their Fabric is Red

Gray,Black, and White Too

I Love Studio E Fabrics

How About You??

I call this my TURN TURN TURN Quilt/Duvet Cover

Some of you may remember the song from the 60's

Rushing through our days made me think of this beautiful Scripture

Not very Professional, but I just couldn't crop out those sweet little Granddaughter legs peeking out at the bottom of this quilt.

She was trying so hard to help Grandmama show off the Turn Turn Turn Quilt/Duvet Cover. 9 yr. old Emma comes to sew with me most every Sunday Afternoon.

Hand Embroidered Scripture...Ecclesiastes 3:1

RUFFLES

Fabric Box & Pin Cushion

MORNING COFFEE CUP COZY

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE???

LOL!!! I HAD TO SHOW YOU MY FIRST GLASS COZY!!

It suits my personality so I'm keeping it just the way it is!

A lot more fun to look at, don't you think? It will make me smile as I drink my OJ.

QUILT BACKING & PIN CUSHION

Since I retired 6 yrs. ago after a 30+yr. as an educator, one thing I value the most is NOT having to RUSH. I can make my own schedule, take a nap, spend time with those I love, create items from fabric either by hand or at my sewing machine, enjoy a morning cuppa on the front porch swing, listen to the birds, bake treats for my family, sew with my Granddaughter, watch my Grandsons play flashlight tag at dusk all from the comfort of my swing, rock my 1 month old adopted grandson, read books with my James, share with you on my blog, or simply do nothing if I so choose.

Thank you Grandma Jane for the giveaway. I will be taken my hour, looking and reading the hop blogs this morning. I love you quilt and the ruffles you added. Is that chair in your yard? Love the box pin cushion and coffee coszys.

Love your "Edith Ann" picture in the oversized rocker. Now there is the way to slow it down. WTG on your quilt featuring all the lovely RWBG fabric. How you found a little time to make the other items--well we are retired, supposedly.

Very sweet quilt....those ruffles have a way of softening the bold colors. Love the added scripture too....so true! Thanks for the hour giveway..... I'll be using mine to work on one of the upcoming blog hops.

Now you have me singing that song, which is okay because it is a sweet song. I love having those words added to your beautiful quilt and the ruffles just take it over the top! Great pic in the rocking chair and thanks for the hour giveaway. I need it! ;O)

I just love your quilt with beautiful words. I thought the top rows were little windows with curtains. Very precious and I love the little legs in that picture. Your world sounds just wonderful with not too much rushing. Thank you for the giveaway, it's the best one yet.

Looks like Madame Samm has rubbed off on you :) Ruffles an embroidery makes a girl happy! Have a happy day stitching the day away . Thanks for sharing the giveaway...... I am going to take you up on it. It will be a crazy week here but desperately need some time to be creative. I am on the home stretch of a couple of finishes. Janita

What a fabulous quilt and nothing better said than your embroidery on it. I must say, we do have good taste. I love those big mason jars for my sewing supplies too. What a fun little pin-y and coffee sleeve...Great job you've done! Thanks for the extra hour too! ;-)

I am just in Love with your Quilt, it is Gorgeous!! I Love the Ruffles, such a beautiful feminine touch! The Pin cushion is adorable too!! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful projects with us!!Huggs, NancyYes, Thank~you for the extra hour!!

Hi, I like your cup and glass cozies and reminds me I am in "need" | "want" of a teapot cozy. Thank you for your giveaway ~ I believe I will take it after I leave today's Rush Hour Blog Hop, out on our porch with a new book I will be beginning today. I like those little Granddaughter remembrances too! Ecc. 3:7a ... and a time to sew! Blessings to you today, Kathleen ~ Lane Hill House lanehillhouse[at]centurylink[dot]net

Love the chair picture. Really made me smile, partly because of the chair, but mostly because of your smile, you look very happy. The quilt is gorgeous and I love the little sewing box/pin cushion, how cute is that. Your glass cozy will always be right side up to you when you are drinking and looking at it, so it's all in someone's perspective isn't it?

Now that's a little you in a BIG chair. Funny! The quilt is adorable and your helper I'm sure is too. What memories you're making with her every Sunday! Very nice accessories to go with your quilt. Great job!

Oh, my dear Jane, I wish I could reach through this device and hug you!! You in that big blue chair....adorable! Giving us the gift of time....priceless! Your quilt was so sweet, your coozies, your pin cushion...nice, but YOU....You are one of a kind, and that is a good thing!

How very special that your granddaughter gets to spend time with you and share your love of sewing. Fabulous quilt you created and the other projects are really fun. Thankfully you are able to no longer "rush". Thank you sew very much for sharing and hopping. Creative Rush Hour Bliss...

Jane I love your quilt - the ruffles, the embroidery, the sentiments of that verse! I love that song and recently heard it sung by a man (whose name I don't remember) and his young daughter....loved it! blessings, marlene

I'm definitely taking that hour! I love all your projects, especially that quilt in that color combination. And I love the fact that your granddaughter sews with you each week. I wish my granddaughters lived close enough to do that! Maybe someday...... :) Thanks for sharing!

GRANDMAMA'S STORIES

May I Introduce Myself

I'm a retired educator of 30+ yrs., mother to 1 son and 2 daughters, "Grandmama" to 5 precious Grandpeeps, married 40 yrs.to my college sweetheart,and savoring every minute of my new stage in life as an empty nester and Retired Grandmother in Chief. I enjoy quilting, stitching, reading, DIY projects, front porch sitting, auctions, thrift stores, morning coffee, Diet Pepsi, tea cups, tea pots, pretty dishes, vintage kitchen linens, vintage sewing items, and family dinners with my party of 12. #1 husband is recently retired so we plan to spend lots of good times camping, yard sale-ing, going to auctions, and simply enjoying each other's company. Thank you Lord for saving me, blessing me, and making me a home in Heaven with you.
